Hello all FSM members.  Our FSM hike is this Sunday, July 12th, near Rhinebeck at 1pm.  For the first hike, we will meet at the parking lot for the Ferncliff Forest Fire Tower from Mout Rutsen Road in Rhinebeck.  Mount Rutsen Road is a left turn off route 9 just before the Northern Dutchess Hospital as you are heading north on Route 9. There are signs heading to the Ferncliff Forest.  There will be a second hike as well.

For more information please visit the FSM web page and sign up for these hikes.  We’ll get an ice cream treat after the hikes.  They are both easy and will be great fun for all families.  Please sign up on the web page asap so we know if you are coming.

Also, here is a pre-announcement to get your creative juices flowing.  FSM will be running a T-Shirt design contest for a new FSM long sleeve shirt.  All FSM members are invited to participate.  It’ll be a fun contest and there will be a prize for the winner.  More details to come soon, stay tuned.

Kurt Steubing,  FSM President
